Melee skill that compliments magic best?

[BanditWins]

Right now I'm torn between 2h swords and 1h swords. Is there something that accomadates magic better?

Well that depends if you want to continue outputting damage then I would say 2Handed Sword. If you want a defensive style then pick up the 1Handed Sword + Shiled

Hmm, I guess since my primary attacks will be magic, melee would be a last-ditch response to someone being close. So 1h swords seem like the way to go. Unless someone has used 2h with sucess?

I'd vote daggers - they suck for direct fighting, but with knockback on a 4.5s cooldown you can kite all day (assuming you can aim).

Yeah, daggers or any one hander due to the fact that the CD on knockback is shorter. Also if you are in trouble a shield can come in handy as long as you have friends with you.

I would go with the 1h sword for the fact that your stanima will be full if you just use magic. When they get close to you and start tryin to own your face pull out your shield and sword and parry till they get bored and run to the next target. When he does that pull out your staff and start nukin him in the back. I would go daggers for the fact that your relying on the nock back that you could miss. If that happens your going to take full damage untill you auctually hit the nock back.

Good luck consistently hitting the knockback.
